About
-----
The Legend of Dragoon Modding System (LODModS) is my attempt to make a single unified system for creating and applying mods to LOD. Currently, mods for the game tend to be installed in similar, but slightly different ways using batch files and separately downloaded dependencies. Further, there has been no coordinated attempt to maximize compatibility between mods by different modders. Finally, mods come in a couple different varieties: patches for game files, and scripts to swap game files from one version to another. LODModS acts as a single, simple-to-use replacement for all of these installation methods.
With the release of the LODModS patcher, I have collected and updated all currently available and complete mods for LoD (by various modders, with permission) to install using LODModS, making the process of installing multiple mods far simpler for players. In several cases, I have also expanded, updated, or replaced previous mods, as noted below.

~~Undub~~ (Original: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3188/)

Compatibility
-------------
REQUIRES: LODModS Patcher v. 1.3 or greater
All mods in this mod pack are compatible with each other, as well as theflyingzamboni's LoD Script Overhaul (currently in beta: http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=25929.0).
------------
Installation
------------
IMPORTANT: Patcher will create clean backups of the discs with a .orig extension. DO NOT delete these files.
Also IMPORTANT, but not quite as much: Only do step 3 once ALL desired mods have been set up, so the patcher doesn't have to be run multiple times.
1. If you have not already, download the current version of the LODModS Patcher (v1.3 or greater) from http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/1445/.
2. Move the unzipped LODModS Mod Pack folder to the LODModS "mods" folder.
3. Run the patcher and follow all instructions. When asked which mods to install, include the numbers corresponding to the desired mods from the Mod Pack (they will be listed individually).
